As noted in previous reviews, these do not all hold air well and thus some become deflated quickly. However, the price is reasonable, the props are great for a party and it is easy to re-inflate them for play time. Also, young children can play with them without fear of injury. Our Seven Dwarfs went mining in the backyard and had fun, so it was worth it to us.

Not worth the money
Out of 12 only 3 stayed inflated. All of the others had a pin hole around the seam. Very disappointed.

Good decoration but poor quality
We purchased a set of these pick axes to use as VBS decorations, and they looked good for our set. However, two of the twelve had holes out of the box and of the other ten, three or four more began losing air throughout the week. A good quality product should not have these problems.

I would avoid these
I purchased 2 dozen of these for our VBS this year.
We had some disappointed kids because only about 10 of them did not leak in some way. Most had tears in the seals along the gray part.

Great Minecraft Party Favor
These were a huge hit at my daughters' Minecraft birthday celebration. We organized a Minecraft themed scavenger hunt and they all had to work together to find the crafting trunk. When they opened it, to their delight, it was filled with pickaxes for everyone. They had a ball running around "mining" trees and killing creepers etc with them after.

Don't buy
Of the dozen that I received only four of them didn't leak :(

Waste of money
Do not purchase! More than 1/2 of the inflatable pickaxes in my shipment would not hold air for more than ten minutes before becoming flat again, prior to any child even touching them. Some had holes. Some had torn seams around air plugs. This product is a waste of money.

Best decision EVER!!! Great for parties!!!
I also bought the inflatable torches and swords . I searched for hours for party favors for my children's minecraft themed party when I found the swords and pick axes. We had our party at the park, so I decided to inflate all the swords and pick axes so they would be ready for the children to play with. Best decision ever!!! Best Birthday Party!! Each kid grabbed a sword or axe, they divided up teams and had a minecraft "battle". Our party was scheduled to last 2 hours but the kids were having so much fun it lasted 3 hours. The only issue I had with them was that some of the air valves didn't want to stay closed. As for the torches, I put them in the party favors.

Minecraft Party must have
My nephew loved this product. No sharp edges, so the kids had swords/pickaxes fights without any injuries.

Great Purchase!
We did a mountain climbing theme for our PeeWee Campers this year and Oriental Trading came through again with a safe alternative to the PicAxe. The kids loved it, and didn't kill each other. :-)

Fun product, but some defects
I bought these for a Minecraft party and the kids got a kick out of them. However, of the 24 I bought, 2 were defective. One had a large slice in it near where the blade meets the handle and another had a small hole near the top of the handle. Both of those could not be inflated. Luckily, we didn't need them all so it was ok.
